11. Host genetic risk factors to viral diseases - a double-edged sword : Studies of norovirus and tick-borne encephalitis virus
Sammanfattning : It is today well known that the outcome of a certain infection depends on factors of both the host and the pathogen. Studies of host genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases aim to increase the understanding of why some individuals are more susceptible than others, to a certain infection. LÄS MER
12. Epidemiology of viral respiratory infections with focus on in-hospital influenza transmission
Sammanfattning : Human Rhinoviruses (HRV) and influenza viruses are respiratory pathogens which represent a major global disease burden. Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are increasingly recognized as a public health concern, but limited data has been published on the characteristics and epidemiology of HCAI caused by respiratory viruses.

13. Enhancing the efficiency of viral and non-viral gene delivery vectors
Sammanfattning : Gene therapy, which involves the introduction, alteration, or deletion of genetic material within cells to treat or prevent disease, holds great promise for addressing various genetic disorders and other medical conditions. However, several challenges remain in the field, particularly concerning nucleic acid delivery into target cells. LÄS MER
14. Epidemiological analysis of viral infections as risk factors for multiple sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Viral childhood diseases have been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Swedish mass vaccination programmes resulted in radical changes in the panorama of the targeted infections. Vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella were implemented in the early 1970s. LÄS MER
15. Hepatitis C virus infection. Viral genotypes and factors promoting liver fibrosis
Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated with chronic infection in a majority of infected individuals. Chronic hepatitis C may result in liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular cancer and is therefore considered a major health problem worldwide. LÄS MER
